Eco-Tip from LUC’s Green Team for Global Wellness

The recent UN report on climate change is a stark reminder that we need to make some significant lifestyle changes in order to save our planet. Cycling is a great, environmentally friendly way to get around the city. It often takes less time to cycle than it does to take public transit. People who cycle to work arrive feeling alert and energized, as well as reporting better mental and physical health than their non-cycling peers. It is a fantastic way to incorporate fitness into your regular routine without much of an additional time commitment. If more people get out on their bicycles, it becomes safer for all cyclists. It is possible to cycle year-round in Toronto. Remember, there is no bad weather, only bad clothing. Get involved in advocating to make our city safer for cyclists through www.cycleto.ca.
